Customizations to Help Personalize Your RedTree Products
Customize your favorite RedTree products and elevate the experience you offer your clients when delivering your work. Make it meaningful, memorable and impossible for them to keep to themselves.
Debossing
Personalize the cover of your products with standard debossing, using one of our six in-house fonts, or with custom debossing, for a truly custom cover.
Cameos
Make an incredible first impression, and offer a peak inside your RedTree Albums (limited to this product) with a cameo window on your cover.
Studio Dies
After the one time purchase, we will keep your studio die in-house, and you can brand the back cover your albums and books with your logo, for free.
Debossing
Choose from one of our three debossing tiers to personalize your covers. Our default style for each tier is blind debossing, meaning no color or foil is added to the impression. Foil debossing is available exclusively on our Luxe Linen covers, in gold, rose gold, and silver.
Standard Debossing
Standard debossing is our base-level debossing option. We offer 14 fonts and five placement options. You can choose up to two lines of phrasing. When placing your order, type eXacTly what you want us to deboss – we can accommodate all caps, all lowercase, or a combination of the two.
Note: Certain characters are not possible to deboss, and we will notify you of any issues. Also, the previews below are not to scale. For an accurate size depiction, please contact our team for a cover mock-up.
RedTree Debossing Collection
With the RedTree Debossing Collection, you can offer 16 semi-custom designs for your covers without needing to do any design work before placing an order. Options include script fonts, bold fonts, and various unique design elements.
Unlike Standard Debossing, which is case sensitive, Debossing Collection designs will appear exactly as the designs are presented (all caps, all lowercase, etc.). To request a special accommodation regarding case sensitivity, or a change to any design, please inquire with our team when placing your order.
Note: The designs featuring small text, or intricate details below do not appear well on our Standard Leather covers. Also, certain characters are not available in some fonts. Please reach out to our team for more information.
Custom Debossing
For a truly unique cover, you can create a custom die for each cover on your own, using your favorite design program (Photoshop, InDesign, Canva, etc.). This is a great way to use the same font or design elements used in your branding, or for couples who have custom design elements from their wedding (invitations, programs, et al.). We offer two sizes for custom debossing – small designs measure 4 in w x 2 in h and large designs measure 7 in w ×3 in h – and five placement options.
Browse our favorite fonts and design elements available for purchase online to build your own custom design in Photoshop. Get started on creating a new design by downloading our Photoshop design templates.

Debossing FAQ
Handcrafted
Our albums & books are debossed by hand. This gives us complete control in every situation. Materials react differently to various fonts and custom designs, and our handcrafted process allows us to tailor each album impression.
Blind Debossing Appears Differently on Some Covers
Some Luxe Leathers show a slightly darker tone in areas that are debossed (this is primarily seen on Alpine), while black Luxe Leathers do not reveal as visible of an impression (this is most noticeable on Suede Noir, Storm and Charcoal). We do not recommend Blind Debossing on the Onyx Luxe Linen.
Custom Debossing Designs
The best Custom Debossing designs are made from clean, clear lines. Please avoid painterly designs, and they can come across as messy and muddy. And, be cautious when using extra thin fonts, as they can be difficult to read on materials with more texture.
Debossing Text Length
Be mindful of the size of your album relative to the length of your debossing text. Lengthy text may look great on a 12×12 album, but overbearing on an 8×8 album. Leaving some negative space on your cover is important, just like an album spread.
Using Cameos and Debossing Simultaneously
Keep it simple. Using cameos and debossing simultaneously can sometimes be distracting. When choosing to use them together, please reference the placement options for both debossing and cameo windows. If you have questions, please contact us to discuss what it is you have in mind.
Studio Debossing
With the one time purchase of a die of your logo, we will keep your studio die in-house, and you can choose to brand the back cover your albums and books with your logo, for free… forever. All other RedTree products can be personalized with a studio die for a $10 fee.
To order a studio die, you can start by converting your logo to black and white (with black being the area that will be debossed). Size it to the exact size you would like it to be on the album, and ensure it is 300 DPI. Generally, dies look best between 2-3 inches wide. Once your design is ready, you can upload your studio die in a vector format, or as a high resolution JPG.
Cameo Windows
Cameos are a simple and affordable way to upgrade your RedTree Album covers (limited to this product). Selecting the right photo and matching color tones on the cover can make for an incredible first impression. View cameo window placement options here.
